A quick tidbit for those that have come across this issue or may run in to this in the near future. I did a re-image today on a system and was boggled for a few minutes when I received the following error while trying to install Office 2007 Enterprise:

"The windows installer service cannot update one or more protected windows files."

Hei Stephen! My name is Stas Im from Norway. Studying at the oslo academy. I'm taking information technology. What can I say. I used 3 hours to solve this problem. I've been through regedit and all possible folders on windows xp. I used official Microsoft site to delete or remove office 2007 and it looked really wired. But after I found your solution it took me 5 minutes exclude installation of office 2007 enterprise. I think it's my first time I'm writing a comment.

Thank you so much and you're a greate guy!!! Greetings Stas from Oslo.
